"MAGIC" WEAVING MACHINE
OTp , .' s ; i ; ,v -;
Multi-colored fabrics, so scarce during the war years are still
meeting a strong demand. Much of this cloth is manufactured on box
looms. It requires a high degree of craftsmanship to set up these looms
and careful weaving is a must. The intricate machine shown above
can use four different colors in making cloth, and a pronounced plaid
was being made when this picture was taken. Multiple colors are wov
en in the cloth with the filling or welt yarns which run crosswise, and
the looms's shuttles change automatically to pick up the proper yarns
necessary for the design.

Mr. Phillip Whitley had loblolly
and long leaf pine seedlings plant
ed on his farm in 1941. These
pines were planted on badly erod
ed, rocky, or other places not suit- 1
ed to cultivation. These pines
have made good growth. Mr.
Whitley states that “almost 100 j

MRS. THEO. B. DAVIS:
This, That & the Other
Mr. W. H. Moss brought us some
turnips last week. Some were
large eating size, and two were
enormous, one weighing more
than six pounds, the other a lit
tle less. We don't grow them that
v/ay but wish we did.
When the two-year-old grand
daughter was with me one day I
wanted to teach her to string
spools. The big darning needle
was long enough and strong
enough, but I was afraid she’d
hurt herseif with it. I wrapped
a strip of Scotch tape around the
pointed end of the needle, press
ing it tightly together, and it
that the only trouble he is having
is to keep tourists from breaking
out the beautiful tops of the long
leaf pines.” Mr. Whitley con
templates planting additional pine
seedlings on another farm this
winter.
“What Are You Doing About
Soil Erosion - ’ and “Are You Us
ing Your Land Properly” tell
their story to you in pictures as
you enter Professor E. D. Elling
ton’s classroom at Zebulon. These
and other charts on “Soil Conser
vation” displayed high on the
classroom walls continually tell
the needs of saving our soils.
These charts are only one of the
means used in teaching the im
portance and value of our soils.
You will find lesson plans on all
phases of water and soil conser
vation used in teaching both his

ing classes. Mr. Ellington, as well
as other teachers of vocational ag
riculture, is taking advantage of
all the devices possible to teach the
fundamentals of “Soil Conserva

was still in place after all the
spools were strung and admired.
You probably know that when a
child begins using a needle the
thread should always be doubled
and tied in a firm knot at the end;
and the needle should be large, if
not blunt.
